Proverbs 18:8

8 The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.

Proverbs 18:8 In-Context

6 A fool's lips bring strife, And his mouth calls for blows.
7 A fool's mouth is his ruin, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
9 He also who is slack in his work Is brother to him who destroys.
10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe.
